Question

A man sells two horses for Rs.1710. The cost price of the first is equal to the selling price of the second. If the first is sold at 10% loss and the second at 25% gain, what is his total gain or loss (in rupees)?

Answer 1

Rs 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Cp =100 Now its say in first he have 10% of loss so , Sp = 90

according to question. Cp=Sp. We take Cp as 100 so, 100=Sp(Cp=Sp) In second we have 25% of gain so, Sp=cp*(125/100) 100=Cp*(5/4) Cp=100*(4/5) Cp=80 So we get two Cp and two sp,sototal come and Sp are Cp=100+80=180 and sp=100+90=190

According to question 190 are sold at 1710 so 1 is sold at 1710/190=9so,190-180=10 are sold in 9*10=90
